Chapter 590 Protector, Master, Or...
By allowing the rampaging dark energy to consume him, Nial further gave it a boost by unleashing more than half of the accumulated crimson moonlight inside his body.
He did the same with his accumulated Essence of Darkness, enhancing the dark energy within and outside his body tremendously. Chaos was also unleashed within his body and it slowly seeped inside his dark energy, further reinforcing his strength.
The Devil Roc was still fused with Nial but he was changing his form once again. His wings were growing in size and so were his claws. His darkness skin was swept through by eternal darkness, including both crimson and chaos veins that spread through his wings, claws, and the rest of his body.
Bella unleashed her holy aura while slashing the golden longsword at Nial, whose dark energy didn't disperse upon coming in touch with the holy aura, not this time.
On the contrary, his dark energy expanded the moment it sensed the holy aura. It was trying to expand and start a feisty battle with the holy aura. At the same time, Nial evaded the sword slash easily with a twist of his body and by moving to the side at a blinding speed. The Devil Roc's wings allowed him to make these maneuvers possible, in the first place, and it was also the Devil Roc's claws that dug inside Bella once again.
Her Holy aura was trying to protect Bella, who was still in her Divine Transformation, but it was not possible to disperse, let alone destroy the reinforced dark energy.
On the contrary, the reinforced dark energy cut through the holy aura and Bella's shoulder viciously before spreading a tremendous amount of reinforced dark energy inside her.
When Bella was just about to activate her Reflection once again, the corners of Nial's lip curled upward.
"Shut up!" He shouted with the Dominion ability triggered by his reinforced dark energy. And as if on cue, Bella shut her mouth close the moment it opened and her eyes widened.
'So she really has to shout Reflection out loud to activate the ability? That's the downside for her…works for me, I guess.'
Nial's claws dug deep inside Bella whose eyes would have widened even further if that was possible in the first place.
Flapping his large wings to make a big maneuver once again, Nial hovered on top of Bella whom he kicked to the ground with all his might. A spear manifested in his hands and he inserted it with a tremendous amount of the torrent mana in the surrounding area while adding a touch of his rampaging, reinforced dark energy before he threw the spear at Bella.
The moment she smashed into the ground, vines of darkness, crimson vines, and silver vines covered her entire body. The vines pinned her to the ground where Bella was forced to look at the mansion-sized dragon head that had emerged out of nowhere.
Manifested through the Tier-3 Forgotten Broken Runic Spear with reinforced dark energy and mana, the dark blue dragon head with two crimson-silver eyes inched closer, its hot breath fanning her face.
Bella grit her teeth, unsure of how to survive the incoming attack as the tremendous pressure originating from the seemingly simple spear throw turned into something she could hardly endure.
She couldn't even fathom the strength of the runic armament once it was to impact. The force may as well tear her apart. And that instilled a visceral fear inside her.
Bella screamed out at the top of her lungs, or she was trying to while unleashing every bit of strength her body held. A dazzling golden light was released explosively from Bella who escaped the grasp of the darkness vines and the crimson vine. The only vines that restricted her were the vines manifested from pure chaos. Bella was not sure how Nial was able to create something such powerful vines but there was no time to think about that.
She looked into the wide open maw of the dark blue Dragon head and was ready to unleash her strength upward to block the attack when a large golden portal manifested in front of the dragon head, devouring it in its entirety.
The dragon head disappeared, ending Nial's attack in an instant.
However, that was not something Nial focused on. His range of perception and Mana Sense allowed him to perceive every bit of mana clearly.
That made it possible for Nial to perceive the changes that had occurred to the Spectran's supreme spatial affinity control after it had summoned the golden domain that restricted the spatial movements of other existences.
'The restrictions on his powers and rank made things more difficult. Looks like you never had to multitask like that!' Nial shouted in his mind, clearly understanding the difficulty of creating a genuine domain while simultaneously fighting against someone as powerful as Sabrina, and trying to protect someone else.
Nial's darkness domain was far from possibly being considered a genuine domain. In fact, it couldn't even be considered a proper pseudo-domain since the only thing he did was spread dark energy into the ground by exerting the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique throughout it, and releasing simple manifestations of darkness through it.
All of this was easily possible with exceptional control of his dark energy, and enough talent and proficiency with his cultivation technique. That was all it took for him to replicate a Lesser version of a Pseudo-Domain. As for a real domain, the Spectran had manifested it, though in a weakened version since it was not possible for him to make use of his Divinity, or full power on Jundra. The planet would expel the Spectran the moment he was to attempt using his full power.
Nial released another Forgotten Broken Tier-3 Runic Armament which he threw straight at Bella once again. However, this time it was not a means of attack to kill, but an attempt to weaken Bella and restrict her once again.
The Runic Armament turned into a dazzling light that forced everyone in the surroundings to squeeze their eyes shut. But even after they shut their eyes tightly, it was not possible to prevent the dazzling light to shine through their eyelids. Only Nial and the Spectran were unaffected, while Sabrina's eyes were covered in darkness, preventing her from seeing anything even the dazzling light.
Mathias cursed out loudly and so did Bella, who felt a sudden grasp around her arm. The Spectran was forced to move. He reached out to her and teleported himself and Bella several kilometers away with a second spatial portal.
"That is Damian's power, just stronger than he had been in the past…To think that his legacy would continue…" The Spectran mumbled to himself, ignoring the tight grasp he had around Bella's arm.
"He cannot stay!"
Nial perceived whatever the others in his surrounding were doing. He could also tell that Sabrina and Mathias were trying to search for Bella when the dazzling light had dispersed. Nial knew where the Spectran and Bella were located but what he couldn't really fathom was the relationship between the Spectran and Bella.
He was definitely hurting her right now but Bella didn't even think about saying anything. From the way Nial perceived the situation, Bella had become the Primordial's underling. However, that didn't really make sense either!
There was not really a reason for a Primordial to come to Jundra in its current state. There shouldn't be enough value in the current Jundra to make a Primordial move.
Yet, a Spectran had decided to rush to the aid of Bella Morningstar, the Saintess of the Angels, a race that was not supposed to attract any attention of the Primordials.
